You should be able to but the hard part might be in finding a replacement part.
Here’s a [link|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40gFgoRiV3Y|video] that shows how to replace the keyboard in a MSI GE62VR laptop. I realize that it is not your model but it should be close enough to give an idea of what’s involved.
At 12:34 minutes onwards into the video you get a good view of the touchpad.
Replacements touchpads aren’t easy to find online as mostly they sell the complete top cover assembly i.e. top cover, keyboard and touchpad. Search for ''MSI GE62 6QF touchpad'' and you will see what’s on offer.
I found one [link|https://www.laptopinventory.com/ModelDetail.php/MSI/GE%20Series/GE62%20Apache%20PRO/Touchpad/40935|supplier] but as you can see they’re not cheap.

You may be able to find others by using the part information on the touchpad. In the video there is a sticker attached to the underside of the touchpad so hopefully there is useful information on that which you can use to search for the part. Just a thought.

You may be able to find others by using the part information that ''may'' be found on the touchpad. In the video there is a sticker attached to the underside of the touchpad so hopefully if there is also one on your touchpad, there is useful part information on that which you can use to search for the part. Just a thought.
